Marty,
"Countermeasures" would be highly recognizable, but you would run the risk of a false+ if the examinee had a military aviation background or enjoyed fighter-sim computer games.
Absolutely. Totally inappropriate GKT question.
Quote:Site-specific questions involving the actual site name would probably be rejected hands-down, because the examinee probably would come here immediately after the test to see what all the excitement was about, and then might learn the truth. Can't see the poly crowd allowing that to happen.
Me neither. Also not a good idea for a GKT. There are a fairly good selection of candidate questions though, assuming an examinee has done enough research to understand the issues. For the ones that have not, they are likely not going to be able to deploy CM's effectively.
Quote:The idea of the examiner not seeing the results of the GKT questions sounds good, but the logistics seem impossible. In my two polys, the examiner sat there looking at the screen on his laptop, I assume at digital representations of charts being printed out elsewhere (I don't know, because I never saw one).
It would be difficult for him not to see the last two responses when reviewing the rest of them.
The technology available these days makes this sort of thing feasible, at least amongst the larger organizations. It doesn't need to be done by all of them, just enough to obtain the demographics. I don't see any evidence they are doing this but they are clearly concerned. I assume that these issues are being looked at one way or another but who knows. The research in CM's has been classified for the last decade or so (according to Kleiner).
